Tough 1 (30 March)

3 Who referred to herself as Jehanne la pucelle? Joan of Arc.
4 What peaked in Britain in 1913 at 292m tonnes? Coal production. My school history book commented that we could do with a figure like that nowadays.

2 India’s Gir Forest is home to Asia’s last population of which cats?
Asiatic lion
5 The Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass was whose trademark instrument?
Paul McCartney. He chose it because he's left handed and being symmetrical it could be restrung for left-handed use. You can get left handed guitars but when he was starting out he was strapped for cash.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
